About The Role:

Join OCS, a £2 billion facilities services business operating across the UK, Ireland, and the APAC regions, proudly serving tens of thousands of customers alongside our 130,000 colleagues.

Our organisation is dedicated to positively impacting the world through our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.

We are on a journey to become the best facilities services business in the world, striving to make people and places the best they can be.

At OCS, success is not only about profit but responsible business practices. Our focus on ESG reflects our dedication to sustainability, community engagement, and ethical decision-making.

As the Head of Marketing, you will play a pivotal role in driving our brand awareness and reputation in line with our TRUE values - trust, respect, unity and empowerment.

Our vision is to lead the industry by delivering exceptional services that enhance people's well-being and environments.

With your expertise and innovative approach to creativity and marketing communications output, you will have a unique opportunity to shape our brand narrative and elevate our presence in the market.

Together, we will continue exceeding expectations, transforming the facilities services landscape while positively impacting the communities we serve.

The OCS Lead design role will be instrumental and influential in shaping how we communicate visually through graphics, infographics, animation, video and digital.

We're seeking someone who inspires those around them and can influence them at the highest level with concise information and sound rationale.

Expertise and positive energy are vital to this role, as you'll be the heartbeat of our creative output, shaping how we look and helping us to capture the hearts and minds of our internal and external audiences through exceptional design.

You will work alongside the Marketing Communications (MarComms) function to push the boundaries of what we do and to set us apart, creating point-of-difference from our competitors.

We seek exceptional creativity, but we're after a hybrid operator with an equal passion for detail and who exhausts the project to completion and outcome.
